    I use this iPad quite a bit. It's very fast and with the large drive, I feel like I can take all my movies and music with me where ever I go.

    Runs fast and smooth. It looks sleek and elegant and is so light. Is delicate; however, and needs a case for protection if there are kids around.

    I have been using an old I pad and ran out of storage. I struggled the need to purchase this one. I am old as dirt and am on my I pad many hours a day. It is my life line and follows me everywhere. I am on a fixed income so this was a true splurge. I do not use it to ✍️, I just wanted it to have more storage. It has changed my life. I love it. The no interest option for one year at Best Buy made this possible. I guess I decided to upgrade at the perfect time.

    This new Apple i-pad mini is an additional gift to her [her first one a mini 4 we purchased a few years ago] the newest one has more memory - double that of her first one - and she is finding it to be very enjoyable. It, the new mini member, gets used quite a bit as well as the previous one! When I ask her which she prefers, I get the reply, " naturally the newest gets the highest praise, however I still like the first one one. " So the newest gets the "thumbs up"!
